Elon Musk claims Tesla's new AI5 chip is 40x more performant than previous-gen AI5 — Next-gen custom silicon for vehicle AI to now be built by Samsung & TSMC

Elon Musk announced that Tesla's new AI5 chip, designed for autonomous driving, is 40 times faster than its predecessor, AI4. The chip will now be manufactured by both TSMC and Samsung in the U.S. Musk plans to oversupply AI5 chips to utilize the excess in xAI data centers. Despite Nvidia's current dominance in xAI hardware, Musk aims to transition to custom silicon. Samsung recently secured a $16.5 billion deal with Tesla to produce the AI5 chip alongside TSMC. Musk expressed confidence in the chip's performance and efficiency due to its focused design approach.
